Re: Linux 3.8-rc1

NO Atheros drivers are being compiled into the kernel, why? its there.

Because the default configs haven't been updated yet.

From literally the post prior to yours.

Hopefully the kernel team will soon rebase the ubuntu raring kernel to 3.8 (already done in master-next git) soon and update configs accordingly. The RC builds in the kernel-ppa would then pull in the correct configs and build the Atheros drivers.

I've been doing my own kernel builds in the meantime correcting the configs, and can confirm that once done the 3.8 kernel plays nicely with my Atheros card.

Edit the config the way you want!!
##comments## commands are Bold
##You can dl 3.8rc2 from herehttp://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern....8-rc2.tar.bz2
##then extract itcd linux-3.8-rc2
##then copy old config for a starting pointcp -vi /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
make oldconfig

##make the kernelfakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel-image kernel-headers

## This way you can build it the way you want.

Re: Linux 3.8-rc1

We have rebased the Raring kernel to the latest v3.8-rc2 upstream kernel. We have held off on uploading until we have resolved some DKMS package build failures. Everyone should also review the ubuntu-raring/dropped.txt file to review anything that may have inadvertantly gone missing after the rebase. Important upcoming dates:

Raring:

Fri Jan 18 - 13.04 Month 3 Milestone (1 week)

Mon Feb 18 - 13.04 Month 4 Milestone (~6 weeks)

Precise:

Thu Jan 10 - 12.04.2 Kernel Freeze (~2 days)

Thu Feb 14 - 12.04.2 Release (~5 weeks)

We should have the last DKMS issues fixed tomorrow. We may have -rc3 by then as well.

Re: Linux 3.8-rc1

Would one of you 13.04 testers post a message to this thread when you notice that they have uploaded the 3.8 kernel? Would appreciate it, i want to check out the live session on the daily build when it is on there....
